AB  - The construction industry faces significant challenges in reducing energy consumption and achieving sustainability goals. Green building rating systems (GBRS) have been created to assess and confirm the effectiveness of sustainable construction practices. As buildings strive to reduce energy consumption, a holistic approach to building design, construction, and operation is necessary. The study aims to explore sustainable construction practices and their sustainability in high-performance green buildings (HPGB). The Georgia Tech Life Science Building (GTLSB), designed to serve the life science community in Metro Atlanta, is the chosen case study. Our research will involve (1) examining guidelines and standards for a sustainable building, (2) understanding the use of sustainable criteria, and (3) demonstrating technical expertise. Initially, we conducted a literature review of the current state of the GBRS and analyzed project information as a case study. Our analysis showcases an in-depth understanding of the technologies, methods, and resources required to produce and operate an HPGB. Our findings contribute to the knowledge of sustainable building and provide insights into the utilization of GBRS, focusing on two widely adopted systems, LEED and Green Globes (GG). The study’s findings will help promote sustainable construction practices for professionals, policymakers, educators, and researchers and help achieve a more sustainable built environment.
